Major transitions, including acquisitions, new leadership, and pandemic process change, can have a destabilizing effect on an organization. It can result in anxiety, fear, poor performance, loss of key staff, and other chaos. However, if well managed, transitions can be the most exciting and dynamic time in a company's trajectory. RGI specializes in these transitions to propel your organization's success.

RGI will change your business forever. We support high-tech and high- science corporations by solving performance problems through cultural assessment and changing behavior or facilitating change with your culture in mind. Mastering cultural development is revelatory - it keeps your best people, creates high-performing teams, and achieves deal performance. Our signature program provides epic results in areas where other programs flounder:

• effective alignment of mission,

• faster implementation of change,

• upward flow of new ideas,

• higher-performing teams,

• greater staff investment of organizational success,

• engaged staff and improved retention.

We focus on what your organization needs to be an amazing place to work

- from the bottom to the top of the org chart - and ignore all the stuff that it doesn't. We don’t burn down everything you’ve built, we find the places where a small adjustment can result in the biggest impact. We don’t want to layer yet another change onto your teams, we increase the velocity of the action you’re already trying to take.
